Monero Fantasy Football League 2018

[phishead]

Hodl on to your butts, it's time for the 2nd Annual  


Monero Fantasy Football League!

The 1st Annual Monero Fantasy Football league was a great time, and again congrats to Jwinterm on the win.  With that being said, it's now time to gear up for another fun season of occasional, soul crushing regret and dank meme's.

PSA: to clarify... this is for American Football or better known as the 'NFL', also known as the 'No Flop League'.

As of right now we have a couple things to decide on:

1.Buy in:  I'm suggesting a buy in of around $50-100 in XMR, but I am going to leave it to the majority vote.  Let's discuss how much people are willing to throw in and I'll take a vote on this when it gets closer to game time.  Also, if people don't have any XMR they want to spend and want to use BTC instead, I guess I'm OK with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  But since this is the "Monero Fantasy Football League" I would assume people who play would want to get a pay out in XMR; so just PM me and I can send XMR in the pot for you, plus post the tx hash here in the thread as long as you send me the buy-in equivalent in BTC.

Edit

• Currently discussing whether we should have fixed 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0 XMR buy ins

- Have decided on 1.0 XMR buy ins

2.Escrow:  Since we have had Jwinterm hold the "pool wallet" for... well literally every single event I've ever held, I say we use him as escrow. But if someone else wants to recommend someone to hold funds (that is trustworthy) for the league we can do that too since Jwinterm will be participating.  Multi-sig is also a possibility?

3.Draft Time:  This is flexible.  I still don't know my schedule for work and I'm sure everyone has to figure out what times they are available as well.  I went ahead and set the draft time for Sunday, August 26th @ 5 PM EST.  Let me know what day/time will work for people and we'll figure out a time everyone can dedicate at least 2 hours or so to drafting players.

Other general info about the league:

1.Trophy:  Fellow Monerian eyejay_3 (on IRC) has graciously donated 1 bottle of a Monero edition Barolo that will be gifted to the winner and is still in the works of being made.  Import taxes are still TBD and will have to be paid by the winner if the winner chooses to receive the prize.

2.Scoring:  Yes yes yes... I've heard your concerns *cough*Hueristic*cough*cough* ... *agheem* and I will be using Yahoo this year.  As of right now, here is a general FYI of what the rules look like for scoring:

Here's how to play:

Send the 1 XMR buy-in amount to the following Public Address.


Public Address:

Code:

Code:

938dce9e8dcad2bccff6058f0834eab688a403a7e2d15c81f4269bdc6f16c00f

You can verify that you have paid by using https://xmrchain.net/

For example (using the link above), here is mine:

1. Enter in the Transaction Hash:

Code:

2e4591a90ab10941c6f64fbd5dba5d7b45d2d802dfbfbb593754ea9f5fe548c6

 ... then click 'Search'.

- You can see that something was in fact sent there, but you can't see where too or how much (thanks Monero!).  So in order to verify I didn't short change the wallet, scroll down to 'Decode outputs'.

2. Enter in the Private View Key:

Code:

938dce9e8dcad2bccff6058f0834eab688a403a7e2d15c81f4269bdc6f16c00f

...

Code:

Outputs (2)

01: eafb0d7e3ffb69c72fc77a62ecf26510ed04a90aea7eb4daa60d2636423eefd7 	? 	false
Sum XMR from matched outputs (i.e., incoming XMR): 1.000000000000

Once, you have sent the 1 XMR amount of funds to the "Monero Fantasy Football League" wallet, post your transaction hash here so everyone can be able to verify it in this thread and I will update you to the list above as well as send you a PM to request your email address and I will send you a personal invite to the league's Yahoo page.

Current Jackpot Is: 10 XMR

Hell yes I'm in. Excited to have another shot at Moreno Barolo. Also excited to draft big dick Nick Foles in the first round and start him every week even if he's sitting on the bench.

I don't mind being escrow either, if that's fine with everyone.

I think Aug 26 works for me. I'll see if I can round up any irl people to play also.

[Hueristic]

In, fuck Foles!

J/K I knew he was the real deal when he was drafted but Ryan was a POS coach.

[LennyCarl]

Count me in, too! I feel like this year will have a big attendance so I'm jumping in now. $100 is good to me. August 26 probably works but I can never plan that far ahead, lol.

Very glad to see we're using Yahoo this time!

Thanks again for doing this, phishead.

Yeah there are people I know IRL and from the forums who have shown interest, so I think we are going to definitely see a bigger league then last year.  With that being said, I think it's fair to make this first come first serve.

That's why I think it's pretty important to choose a buy in now and set a specific date/time on when to finalize the XMR/USD rate everyone should send in to the pot.

I will update the OP with everyone who posted above

PSA: to clarify... this is for American Football or better known as the 'NFL', also known as the 'No Flop League'.[/center]

Ha! Just got to reading this thread and caught this Gem hidden in there. Lol

@LennyCarl, Sup man! Hopefully we can have some duels like last year! they were some nail biters.

@eyejay_3, thanks for the Barlow.

2.Scoring:  Yes yes yes... I've heard your concerns *cough*Hueristic*cough*cough* ... *agheem* and I will be using Yahoo this year.  As of right now, here is a general FYI of what the rules look like for scoring:

Hah, I wasn't gonna say tolds ya so but since you did for me.

Yahoo default (I really don't want to go through that whole list and see if anything is changed), correct?

We certainly proved last year that PPR is a lock to the draft.


Also it just occurred to me that we may want to make the buy in in Monero as doing it in USD terms will fluctuate the buy in so it would be different for everyone. But like I did last time anyone can pay in whatever form JW will accept.

If 1 Monero is too much then .75?
I personally will do 1 without any qualms.

This is a good point... I'm ok with setting a flat buy in rate if it's ok with everyone else as well.  I'm ok with 1 xmr but let's leave it up to debate for everyone else.  Might be difficult for people we know IRL to front 1 xmr worth even at these prices.

I attached a poll up top

Edit: Hueristic, yeah I'm just assuming everything in the rules is how Fantasy is normally done over at Yahoo; just wanted to have the list of rules for people available if they weren't familiar to the format.

[jwinterm]

Voted 0.5 XMR. I think it should be fixed XMR amount, and low enough to get more buy in hopefully. I'm fine with 0.75 or 1 XMR also tho.

[Hueristic]

Voted but I'm flexible on whatever we decide.

I really wanted to vote "25 Trillion Zimbabwean dollars" but I was afraid it might attract Nigerian Princes to the league.

[LennyCarl]

Voted for 1 XMR but am completely flexible. It's just fun to play.

@LennyCarl, Sup man! Hopefully we can have some duels like last year! they were some nail biters.

Looking forward to it!

1 XMR is cool, I’m in! 

[phishead]

1 XMR is cool, I’m in!  

Alright I will add you in the OP a little later. Best of luck in the draft!

So, it looks like the general consensus is to have a 1 XMR buy in. So it shall be. Now, is everyone cool with Jwinterm holding escrow or we can get another escrow? Majority rules of course..

[jwinterm]

So it looks like 1 XMR is consensus?

[phishead]

UPDATE: So I've updated everyone on the list of players who are playing so far.  Also there has been a thought brought up by Chi, which I will just quote for simplicity:

"ChiBitCTy: I’d highly recommend cutting out the last week from the fantasy season all together fish..it’s bs as too many players sit
Also , what about making a 2nd place pay out, or a weekly high scorer pay out ?
phishead [1:54 PM]
hmmm.. I might be able to set how many weeks we play.  Usually it's just the normal regular season
I've never had to edit it before
ChiBitCTy [1:54 PM]
You can, It’s easy to do
I edit everything
Take out stupid stuff (edited)
phishead [1:55 PM]
ok, I'll propose it in the thread... However, you could argue that any of the teams who are having a super shitty season ends up playing their players differently given the context of the season/game/draft pick possibilites
I mean, it's just a part of the strategy in what players you choose... and I don't think a week shorter really changes anything
ChiBitCTy [1:56 PM]
It fucks a good team who makes it to the playoffs, and then because their teams going to the playoffs they sit and some lesser teams ends up winning because they didn’t have the guys sitting. By eliminating it, you take luck out of the equation
It changes a lot, I’ve been playing for a decade now and play 4-5 leagues a year ..I’ve seen it ruin people’s seasons so many times.
When it’s taken out, the league benefits
Because their players team goes to the playoffs *
phishead [1:59 PM]
hmm...
I see the logic... just never have played it that way.
Ok, I will propose it in the thread and will see what everyone wants to do

Would any of you guys be wanting to do this?

...

Also, in the mean time you guys might have noticed that I have whored my self out to a campaign.  Yeah... I'm a pretty bitch 

[phishead]

So it looks like 1 XMR is consensus?

Yes, that's what it looks like... So with that being said we have a proposed 7 XMR pot so far with hopefully some more people playing.  I will look for some more IRL people to join in the mean time to make things interesting.  Just let us know when you get back from VayCay and set up a wallet

Sounds good, As long as the site is legit your advertising it's not selling out.
Shilling a scamcoin is selling out.
